A second woman says Graham Platner knew the Nazi origins of his Totenkopf tattoo, contradicting his claim that he only learned of its meaning last fall.
She also alleges he cheated on his fiancée and described the tattoo as a reminder that “the US was the evil bad guy.” (NYP)

Jeff Flake, former GOP Senator from Arizona and Biden’s ambassador to Turkey, writes in Washington Post op-ed that Maine Democrats should support Susan Collins.
Flake: “Democrats are not wrong to want a stronger legislative check on the Trump administration. They are just wrong to think that these things matter more than character.”

@COYMFS1989 @stevedonsky I almost said the said the same thing but I thought it went without saying.. I’m finding out many people really are clueless about strategy & game theory, and, frankly, are idiots

@Wilson__Valdez Mainers are historically independent, cross-ticket voters, though. Bipartisan messages, good and bad, probably hold an appeal there more than any other state. Especially indie voters of an already independent-minded state

The thing that gets me about this is that it's not like Maine is a red state. If he was doing this in like Kentucky or something, it would make some sense.
Maine voted for Kamala by 7 points!

Would Mika like to elaborate on the timeline of her relationship with her co-host, since we’re holding people to saintly standards here?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
MIKA: Given your sexting, can you call for the release of the Epstein files and not be conflicted in any way? PLATNER: Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part of my life. That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.

Media’s framing of Platner as some kind of manopshere referendum on gender is idiotic. Women actually prefer Platner to Collins, as polling consistently shows, whereas men prefer Collins. You’ll never see this in a headline though because everything has to be culture war bs

@CheesyYet @stevedonsky I did. I voted blue no matter who, and I hope my centrist counterparts can do the same with progressive candidates

@Garreeto @stevedonsky Just curious did you vote for hillary in 2016?

Anyone mad that I would rather have Collins win than that monster. I will remind you he has supported her in far more races than I have...

@Kingfan5151 @grahamformaine I think it was more attacking the Epstein class regardless of who it is. We can disagree. Thanks for the discussion, I gotta take my dog for a walk now.
English
@Garreeto @grahamformaine His ad didn’t even mention Susan Collins or Donald Trump lmao. Attacking your own party is ridiculous. If democracy is on the line, attacking the party that stands for democracy as Epstein class is stupid. Especially as they are unpopular and need help boosting their party.
English
The only thing the DC establishment can agree on is a love of Jeffrey Epstein — and a hatred of me.
Together, we will take back our government from the Epstein class.
